![Genevieve Miller has a passion for vampires and knitting. She has put together 28 knitting projects you can sink your teeth into.

Welcome to the dark side. Zombies, Goths and Vampires are everywhere these days. Knit some of your own. Whether it is Zombies inspired by the silver screen or Goth dolls and Vampires as characters of the night, your dolls will be on the fringe.
Goths interpreted as handsomely beautiful in a haunting way. Even if doll making is not your knitting passion, you will appreciate the workmanship. The proportions, facial anatomy and costume detail of the dolls are a product of Fiona's art school training in Australia, where she resides. Each doll is a marvel of its own. You will also enjoy the snippets of backstory for each character.Pick up the book and a wooden stake (just in case) and enjoy the creativity of each doll.
If you are into Vampires and knit, you probably already have these books on your wish list. Vampires, shape shifters and werewolves are not on your radar, maybe they should be. There are some fun patterns you might enjoy.
Don't forget to lock them away when you are done playing.
